Palm Sunday

 

It's Palm Sunday today for Western Christians, the 1st day of the Holy week. 

We went to church today as we are planning to go on a short vacation Easter Weekend. To attend, we have to write ourselves down beforehand on Monday (!), but we are now allowed to sing the last hymn all together, which is nice. A friend in Norway told me everything is closed over there, till April 11. How are things in your neck of woods?

Brought up on a farm he spent much time outdoors engaging in such pursuits as hunting and fishing and his sense of observation helped him later in his works. N.C.
